Taillon rated #6 right-handed pitching prospect
MLB.com writer Jonathan Mayo rated Jameson Taillon the sixth best right-handed pitching prospect (You can check out the entire top 10 list here).
6. Jameson Taillon, Pirates: High school pitchers like this don’t come around often. Taillon has size (he’s 6-foot-6), stuff (he can throw four pitches for strikes), command and makeup. Three of those pitches are plus at times, and the changeup isn’t far behind. He’s yet to make his pro debut, but he has the type of arm at his age that could move him fairly quickly through the Pittsburgh system.

I’m sold on young pitchers that have size and have multiple pitches they can throw like Taillon. It’s not very often to find a gem like this that is a pitcher and not just a thrower.

I agree. Taillon has the makings to become a #1 ace. I’m excited to watch him make his debut this year. Definitly an arm to be excited about.

I can’t wait for our talented pitchers in the system get to Pittsburgh. Taillon, Allie, Moskos, etc. It’s going to be an exciting when they make it here.
I agree. With the additions to arms like Bryan Morris, Zach Von Rosenberg , Jeff Locke, Rudy Owens, Justin Wilson as well. The future is looking bright.
